AUSTIN, Texas: Journalists face constant demand for high-quality content and tighter deadlines in an always-on news cycle. According to a survey by Muck Rack, nearly 25% of journalists produce more than 10 pieces of content per week, and this trend is bound to accelerate. Otherweb, a news-focused AI startup and registered public benefit corporation, has launched a suite of AI tools to help them.

Press Hub is built by journalists, for journalists, transforming AI from a competitor into an invaluable ally. It handles repetitive, time-consuming tasks like generating URL slugs, social media posts, and metadata, allowing journalists to focus on what really matters.

“We built Press Hub to address the unique needs of newsrooms and journalists. It is a cutting-edge AI toolset developed specifically for professional writers, rather than for coders or general use,” said Alex Fink, CEO and Founder of Otherweb. “Press Hub allows journalists to do more with less. Our beta testers told us that switching from their normal text editor to Press Hub felt like switching from a bicycle to a sports car.”

Press Hub is available in free and paid versions. Both include an advanced text editor, a built-in AI research assistant, and access to numerous news wire services, including Open Press Wire. Press Hub’s paid version comes equipped with advanced features, including:

• Fact checker: Validate every questionable claim against credible sources, including verified news outlets.
• Counterpoint generator: Test your arguments or find flaws in commonly-made arguments, with detailed reasoning and citations.
• First-draft synthesizer: Generate unique, accurate, and plagiarism-free article drafts based on real facts from thousands of articles published that day.
• SEO collateral generator: Automate the creation of everything from meta tags to social media posts, ensuring your content reaches the widest possible audience.

Otherweb fine-tuned its proprietary large language model (LLM) on carefully curated data, allowing it to create an AI model that writes like a professional journalist. Its writing is clear, concise, and specific, and it avoids the verbose, empty language that is often produced by general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT.

Press Hub uses Clerk and its industry-leading security standards for access control and authentication. Any content generated by users in the course of their work is not used for any purpose, including re-training the company’s AI models. All user data remains under the user’s control, and any history can be deleted with no traces left behind.

Press Hub represents the future of producing high-quality journalism at scale: a smart, capable AI partner that keeps journalists in the driver’s seat, while using the horsepower of AI to help them move faster.
